No Helmets In Football

The brain is the most vital part of our bodies because it houses our neurons which allows us to walk, talk, and move. A single very hard hit, or a series of smaller hits, can cause concussions, paralysis, or worse. Football is a sport that players can get go into a game and after one really hard helmet-to-helmet hit it can cause them to end their career early or become paralyzed. A collection of hard hit versus a one big hard hit can out weight a big hard hit because it can hard them later in life. In the NFL, most of the players are getting hit in the head region every down because they have a big helmet that can get in the way of them trying to get block.

Back then, players families would sue the NFL for their negligence for football player health. Over the years, NFL has taken better care of their player ever since the stories about the injuries that can occur after being in the NFL. For example,  a famous linebacker named Junior Seau made headlines when the world found out that he shot himself in the chest at the age of 43. His family was devastated and sued the NFL after they found the brain report for Junior Seau. Studies showed that Junior Seau had “‘a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head hits and brain trauma.'” The family won and ever since that came out the people believe that the  NFL has been trying to help make the game safer for the players.

The battle between are helmets really safe in the National Football League as been going on for years now. This is the first time I have heard that football players shouldn’t wear helmets and just tackle differently. As a result, with no helmets in football, players will be more cautious of their head when going in for a tackle. I propose the NFL eliminates helmets. Players will soon learn to tackle differently or get hurt. Football players when they wear helmets it can cause them to put their body at more dangerous situations than if they didn’t have any helmets because they want to protect their head or it could lead to losing a career and their lives changing dramatically.
